Only after this second programme has largely completed (75%+ FTTP coverage) in an exchange area can you really start to completely switch-off copper-based products, which will come later as you have to allow lots of time for natural customer migrations.<\/p>\n<p>Between the scrapping of legacy phone services, the full fibre rollout and the gradual switch away from copper lines themselves, this process will take several years in each area to complete, and the pace will vary (i.e. some areas have better coverage of Openreach&#8217;s full fibre lines than others).

This stage is then followed by a final &#8220;<em>withdrawal<\/em>&#8221; phase, but that comes later.<\/p>\n<p>The stop sell is applied at premises level, so it shouldn&#8217;t impact you if you don&#8217;t yet have access to FTTP, although edge-case conflicts may still occur due to rare quirks of network availability. The 238 exchanges confirmed today will take the total number of exchange upgrades that, by 5th June 2026, have already been placed under active &#8220;<em>stop sell<\/em>&#8221; rules to 1,432 (equating to 14.2m premises or 61% of Openreach&#8217;s total full fibre footprint).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>James Lilley, Openreach\u2019s Managed Customer Migrations Director, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur stop sell programme is a vital step in accelerating the UK\u2019s transition to a modern full fibre future. As copper\u2019s ability to support modern communications declines, the immediate focus is getting people onto newer, future proofed technologies.<\/p>\n<p>By phasing out legacy copper-based services in areas where fibre is now widely available, we\u2019re ensuring customers and providers move onto faster, more reliable, digital infrastructure. This approach not only reduces the cost and complexity of having to maintain both old and new networks but also supports the industry-wide migration ahead of the legacy copper-based Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) now just under eight months away, by which time everyone will need a digital phone line.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The stop sell in today&#8217;s list will become effective in 12-months time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach has around 5,600 exchanges.
